Savvy Cybersecurity in a World of Weaponized A.I.
Artificial Intelligence makes hacking your organization easier. Generative A.I. models evolved from ChatGPT give novice cybercriminals free tools to code malware, create adaptive ransomware, and author sophisticated phishing emails around the clock. Deepfake videos imitate people in power to manipulate your performance, profits and reputation while disinformation campaigns blur the lines of trust. And quantum computing is about to render current defenses nearly useless. Are you prepared?...
Blockbuster Cybersecurity in a Zero-Trust World
Hackers don’t just adapt to change; they bank on it. Has your mindset evolved?

Cybersecurity doesn’t grow from shinier tools, but from the powerful intersection between humans and technology. In this keynote, John leverages potent lessons learned from losing...
The Art of Human Hacking: Social Engineering Self Defense

Fraud training needs to be engaging and interactive to be effective. To put it...

A virtual program for leaders, organizations and end users looking to defend their data.
The rules of cybercrime have changed. Much of the workforce has gone remote, making old notions of "perimeter security" outdated.

Verificado @fransenpittman.comJohn was extremely knowledgeable in his topic, acutely aware of how data security issues affect our industry and very entertaining. The crowd was glued to his presentation; he made an hour seem like 20 minutes. We had one of our largest audiences ever today, obviously because John's topic is so relevant and timely.

My conference participants complete evaluation sheets on all speakers and your results could not have been better. Some of the comments I received were-"Bring John back again next year--he was both entertaining and informative." "What a speaker/entertainer--a perfect 'wake me back up after lunch' speaker--good content, too".

Verificado @lincolntrustco.comJohn was dynamic and kept the audience on the edge of their seat. I literally laughed and cried all in the same hour presentation because I felt so connected to his story. I know that other attendees were also as impacted as I was based on conversations that I had afterward. His stories about his personal experiences with fraud were amazing and his solutions were relevant and timely. I personally implemented some of his suggestions for protecting myself the same day.
